I went to Arizona this winter for a week.  I spent most of my time at Marana Skydive Center   Nice little DZ.  I finally jumped from a Cessna 182, I also got to jump from a King Air!  The 182 was a fun little plane.  It's has a much different feel than any other plane I've exited.  The King Air was cool too - it's fast!  And it was a cool sight to see mountains almost all around you, and desert as far as you can see.

Didn't really get as many jumps in as I wanted to, and I didn't get to make a stop at Eloy or Coolidge like I had planned, but I don't care.  I had a good time, got to jump, relax, and enjoy warm weather!  Ok, so it actually snowed one morning, but it was really nice the rest of the time.
